When asked about his writing, Bobby Sands will tell you openly and frankly that he is a "recreational author", one who writes not for purposes of commercial enterprise, but rather for his own enjoyment and for that of his growing legion of fans. Before early retiring from the executive levels of the corporate world and returning to his Southern roots, his professional life took him across much of the northern part of the country. Yet, he remains a true son of the South with a passion for the outdoors, a fact that is reflected in the easy, laid-back manner with which he tells his stories and talks about the hunting and fishing that have been such a big part of his life.
